About
"Class warfare rendered in toxic-waste cartoon absurdity"
The Oblongs follow a family of misfits living at the bottom of a toxic valley, literally in the shadow of a wealthy, genetically unblemished hilltop community. Pollution has left them with odd deformities, but they get by with warmth and dark humor. The show is a scrappy, mean-spirited satire on class divides, wrapped in crude animation and gross-out gags. It moves fast, throws jokes constantly, and leans hard into cynicism rather than sentimentality. It's short, weird, and clearly a product of its early-2000s adult-cartoon boom, made for viewers who like their comedy jagged and a little bleak.
